A Chat with April’s Profile, A.G. Russell and Goldie Russell, president and CEO, A.G. Russell Knives

Goldie: I think the focus is on high-quality, as hand-made oriented as we can get it, as exclusive as we can get it. Certainly stuff that appeals to this hunting, shooting, outdoor-oriented male.

CS: What were some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in growing the business?
A.G.: For the past 15 years, the biggest problem is finding competent people. We have a great staff. But for 15 years, the economy in this area has been so hot, that it’s just really difficult to find good people.
